One has to admit that Donald isn’t everybody’s idea of a pious Presbyterian. Though he still maintains some loose connection with his parents’ confession, his behaviour is, how shall I put it, more Playboy than Presbyterian. And yet he won over Christians by a wide margin: 52 per cent of all Catholics, 58 per cent of all Protestants and 82 per cent of all evangelicals voted for him. The Catholic vote is particularly notable. After all, some 40 per cent of US Catholics are Hispanics, and, putting it mildly, Trump didn’t go out of his way to endear himself to...

Conservative Christians gave Donald Trump 79 percent of their votes, Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, told reporters Wednesday. That split left 15 percent voting for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

In 2016, most of the polls were wrong, period. And polls predicting that Hillary Clinton would run away with the Catholic vote proved more wishful than accurate. In the run-up to the election, only the IBD-TIPP poll consistently pointed to a Trump win among Catholics, as CRUX noted last week. Almost all the others suggested a significant margin of victory for Clinton. Now that the voting is over, however, preliminary results indicate Trump decisively won a majority of those self-identifying as Catholics, by 52 to 45 percent. By contrast, President Barack Obama won Catholics narrowly, by a margin of 50...

For the last eight years the Democrats who have ruled our lives have used the power of their offices to undermine Christianity in general and the Catholic Church in particular. They are trying to force nuns to provide abortion and contraception benefits in the insurance policies provided for themselves and their workers; and things as bad as that. They have changed our rights to speak out against these attacks to “hate speech,” to try to silence us. They are pounding at the doors of our churches to force Catholic priests to perform Gay marriages or risk losing their tax exempt...

For the first time since 1984 a Republican presidential candidate has a lead among Catholic voters; and it is substantial. Donald Trump has at least 50% of this voting bloc while Hillary Clinton is at 37% which is less than what Walter Mondale got while losing 49 states in 1984. This lead is the 3rd largest since this measure was first taken in 1952; it is worth noting that no Republican has gotten more than 48% of the Catholic vote and lost; and no Democrat has gotten less than 47% of the Catholic vote and won. http://cara.georgetown.edu/presidential%20vote%20only.pdf In the states...

San Diego statement came after a parish bulletin warned that Catholics who voted Democrat risked damnationIt is not a mortal sin to vote Democrat, the Diocese of San Diego has said after a local church bulletin stated that it was. According to the website Sacramento Bee, the Church of the Immaculate Conception in San Diego issued a flyer inside its weekly bulletin which warned that parishioners risk “descending into hell” if they vote Democrat in the presidential elections. The flyer pointed out that the Democrats violated Church doctrine on abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic research, euthanasia and human cloning. In an...

The Sunday bulletin of San Diego’s Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on Oct. 16 wasn’t very different from all the others. Seven pages. A welcome to newcomers. A Mass schedule. But there, between the prayers of healing for the ill and the deployed and a reminder about a parent-child chastity luncheon for ages 11 and up, was an extra flier. On it was printed a memo, written in Spanish and English, and titled, in part, “How to vote like a Catholic.” “It is a mortal sin to vote Democrat … immediately after death the souls of those who die in a...

It seems referring to the Catholic Church as a “Middle Ages dictatorship” and religious Americans as “backwards” might just cost you in the polls. Donald Trump is up 13 points against Hillary Clinton among American Catholics, according to a new IBD/TIPP Presidential Election Tracking Poll out Nov. 2. The same poll reports that Trump is up 22 points with American Protestants.

This is happening outside Trump Tower right now!

EWTN: Donald Trump In His Most Revealing Interview Yet! Irondale, AL, Oct. 25, 2016 -- At 8 p.m. ET, Thursday, Oct. 27, EWTN’s “The World Over” with Host Raymond Arroyo will air an exclusive interview with Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, which will be of interest to people across the United States. “He reveals the reason he switched his position on the life issue, talks about religious liberty, and speaks to women’s concerns about his candidacy. We also spoke about his prayer life, whether he has a favorite saint, and a lot more.” Said Arroyo: “Honestly, this is the most...

This video shows a Catholic priest clearly saying that Catholics who vote for an abortion supporting Democrat are committing a sin and should not present themselves to receive Holy Communion. http://www.oann.com/priests-urge-pro-life-voters-turn-election-day/

This headline should open the eyes of every Catholic: WikiLeaks: Podesta and Left-Wing Activist Plot ‘Catholic Spring’ http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/wikileaks-podesta-left-wing-activist-plot-catholic-spring/ This threat is real and these Democrats mean business; they want to control our Catholic Church and we cannot let them. The Hillary Clinton campaign is plotting to take over the Catholic Church and destroy the authority of the Papacy. They have already set up fake “Catholic” front groups modeled after the classic tactics used by the old Soviet Union. They realize that strong Catholic and Christian faith will always be a check on their lust for power and the Democrats will...

After we have been insulted by another faked poll we have to keep in mind that Wikileaks just released an email from the Clinton camp discussing ways to use over sampling to build a fake narrative that Hillary Clinton is pulling away. https://i.redd.it/psdkjw2049tx.jpg Donald Trump’s support among Catholics is at a record high level; and Hillary Clinton’s support among Catholics is at a record low. We know this because of a survey done by the Washington Post. The latest Washington Post ABC News poll of Catholic likely voters said Trump is leading 50/34. So where is the lie? On October...

Trump called out Hillary for her lies and corruption during his speech. He also dropped a few references about the Wikileaks documents Donald Trump: Hillary is so corrupt. She got kicked off the Watergate Commission. How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commission. Pretty corrupt. Hillary is and has been in politics since the 70s. What’s her pitch? The economy is busted. Washington is failing. Vote for me. I’ve been working on these problems for 30 years… We’ve learned so much from Wikileaks. For instance, Hillary believes it’s vital to deceive the people by...

While the tradition of the Alfred E. Smith dinner to invite the Republican and Democrat nominee to raise money for charity is admirable, it was disturbing to see Timothy Cardinal Dolan laughing and joking with Hillary Clinton less than twenty-four hours after Hillary announced she supports abortion up to the moment of birth.  Worse, when he spoke at the end, he made a vague oblique reference to the life of the unborn when he said some of the money raised would help poor women give birth. I understand that the dinner is to raise money and everyone tries to...

The following is just my own surmising in regards to the importance of the United States election on November 8th and what might happen depending on who wins. I firmly believe that 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges was a major moral turning point in the United States.  Some commentators, such as J.D. Farag, even thought that there could be no turning back or revival at this point.  The country has been on a downward spiral for a half-century, but up until 2015 Christians were still largely protected and individual states could support righteousness in a variety of ways.  The SCOTUS ruling...

I'm Christine, I am a Catholic, and I vote. I've often seen bumper stickers that say, "I'm Pro Gun and I Vote," "I'm Pro Choice and I Vote," "I'm Dead and I Still Vote (In Philadelphia)." I'm embarrassed to say that I regarded them with some elitist disdain, confident that I was a better-educated, more open-minded citizen because I couldn't be a one-issue voter. I've come close when that issue is abortion, and I can count on two fingers the pro-choice candidates I've supported in 37 years of voting. But it was only this past week, when I read the...
